What is the reason for the rebellious nature of young people today?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The rebellion of youth is not a rejection of values but a courageous embrace of doubt, challenging the absurdity of an outdated establishment in the face of a rapidly changing world."
According to Osho, today’s youth appear rebellious because education and scientific training make the old establishment look absurd and invite disciplined doubt; globalization uproots local traditions; and nuclear-age urgency collapses the future into the present. Much of the ‘rebellion’ is the old resisting the new. He sees this as a healthy transition toward a world culture and a living faith that welcomes doubt.
Kids rebel because they’re taught to think and doubt, see many choices, feel the old ways don’t fit a connected, risky world, and the fight is mostly the old order pushing back.
Why this matters practically
- Meet youth with listening and co-creation instead of control.
- Encourage inquiry-friendly spirituality and education to ease generational tension.
- Channel present-focused energy into compassionate, constructive action.
